So on Beckham's play at the plate, Farmer made it sound like Beckham was scoring without a problem. Must have been a strange play.

ALEXEI!

Balta, did you know Morel has a higher average than Viciedo now

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 11:29 PM) Jesus. We have nobody off the bench who can actually hit a fastball. We have no one that comes from our minor leagues that can touch a fastball. Of the last 4 major prospects we've called up, it seems like Fields/Viciedo/Beckham absolutely got exposed by fastballs after the league adjusted to them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 11:28 PM) Yuck...I don't like Tanks in this spot... Yep, should have been Lillibridge.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) AJ is only a 1/2 step quicker than PK, wow. Go for the win, and let Lillibridge run for AJ

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) Marlon Byrd will kill us! Have you seen how skinny he is this year?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) Ellsbury is out, Crawford is out, Youkilis is hurt/struggling. Our old friend Aviles is killing it right now

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:21 PM) Yeah Jeter has been doing pretty damn well Jeter got traded to the Red Sox? Holy cow!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) The Red Sox offense just put up some big numbers against Minnesota, the 2nd worst pitching staff ERA in the AL. Didn't they just score like 10 against the Yankees also? Yes, it was against Garcia I know, but they still have guys swinging the bat pretty well.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) WTF is with our offense Hopefully they get it going again vs the Red Sox, as their offense is putting up some big numbers.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) For f***s sake guys. It's fundamental f***ing baseball. This team just isn't good at trying to play small ball.

Do you let De Aza face the tough lefty or have Lillibridge bat?

Crain's not available

Wow would I love for an "I told you so" from balta this inning

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 11:04 PM) ADDISON REED CARES NOT ABOUT YOUR SILLY BALK CALLS Indeed...not enough was made of his absolutely dominating inning in Seattle. One of the better innings I've seen from a Sox reliever of late.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:51 PM) God I hate this park. Why?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:43 PM) He's been a major league manager for all of 3 weeks. He's got to learn through experience. Ozzie never learned. One thing to add is I was thrilled to see that Rios didn't complain about Ventura's choice to let Dunn hit for him last night. Who knows what the reaction to such a move would have been last year, but it's great to see things seem to be good in the clubhouse.

PK!! Congrats to my favorite Sox player of all time (besides Morel, of course)

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) He's been a major league manager for all of 3 weeks. He's got to learn through experience. Ozzie never learned. Yes, I agree completely. Despite what Baron's said, I don't think anyone has said he should be fired

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) You guys are nuts about jumping on Ventura so quickly. Let him manage Are you joking? There would have been 5 threads on the site bashing Ozzie if he allowed Gavin to start the 8th last night like Ventura did, as well as Ventura's decision to let Beckham bat in the 9th. In my opinion, everyone on this site has been very lenient with Ventura and any growing pains he might have as a manager.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) Please elaborate. Why don't you know the score before you criticize others

Our #2 hitters couldn't be less productive this year. I'd love for Fukudome to get some at bats there, but Viciedo still needs to get some at bats as well.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) Ya, Fuentes. Oh boy...good luck with that Adam

I assume A's have a lefty warming up? If you bunt with Alexei here, you're going to have to rely on Dunn doing damage against a LHP.
